The Power of Methods With Parallel Semantics
Summary: Defines a deterministic, parallel-synchronous model of OO-DB methods with concurrent reads/writes. Links method expressiveness to relational calculus, Datalog, fixpoints, and while queries, delivering PTIME/PSPACE bounds and PRAM-like parallelism simulations.
